Basic Needs Partners Announced for 2018

Our volunteers reviewed proposals and awarded one-year Basic Needs grants for Shawnee County late last year.  These partners provide vital services that support our neighbors in crisis and help get them back on their feet. Basic Needs grants run from January 1 to December 31. New proposals will be requested in the fourth quarter of 2018.
